About
Founded in 2010 at the UCLA, Sigma Eta Pi is the West Coast's first entrepreneurship fraternity. Each Chapter location is complemented by its surrounding startup community (Silicon Valley / Silicon Beach). Apart from emphasising just the importance of exposure to the startup scene and building strong ties between brothers, the fraternity has also hosted the largest hackathon in the USA.
